  9. Platform Engineering in Practice
    Platform Engineering in Practice
    Build internal Developer Platform from Empty Clusters to Self-Service Delivery, Observability, and AI-Assisted Operations
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    We will define the developer contract first, and we will then build the platform underneath it together, step by step, using decisions that hold up in regulated environments and in small startups alike. Along the way, we will provision clusters, wire delivery, publish a developer API, enforce policy and ship observability, and we will do all of it where you can see every command, every manifest and every failure. Nothing here stays theoretical, because platform problems only show their true shape where an abstraction meets a real cluster.
